Poll question: Should the Hitler Downfall Meme be protected as Fair Use?
Lots of parody videos from the movie Downfall are being taken down on YouTube by Constantin Films. Perhaps the meme has run its course?

3. It is way overdone and past it's time. Although, I would think
Constantin would appreciate the viral publicity of their film.

5. Don't know. But under the heading of any publicity is good publicity
it is an excellent movie, and I think the parodies can only help to widen awareness.
